DESTINADO - 7/4
DESTINADO, having secured four victories this year since transferring to his current stable, had valid reasons for finishing fourth at this track 11 days ago, as he was not ideally placed on the far side. Given this context, he is favored to increase his win count, now competing at a shorter distance. Real Terms, racing off her most recent winning handicap mark, stands out as the primary challenger, with Coolnaugh Haze, who is making his handicap debut in this category, also being a notable competitor.

SNEAKY BLINDER - 9/2
Notre Dame overcame challenges to secure a win by half a length at Chelmsford last month, and with just a 2lb increase in her rating, she remains a contender worthy of consideration. Yet, she may find a strong competitor in SNEAKY BLINDER, who demonstrated significant progress by finishing second at Chelmsford on his handicap debut, marking his first race since a gelding procedure. With only a 1lb increase in his rating, Tom Ward's entrant is well-positioned to improve on his last performance. Quantum Force, competing with cheekpieces for the first time, should also be viewed as a serious competitor.

ROGUE DREAM - 6/4
After achieving a relatively easy victory over 7f at Kempton, it seems ROGUE DREAM has found her form. Jack Jones' filly appears capable of adapting to the shorter distance and could secure another win, even with a 3lb increase in her rating. Dame Darcey, making her handicap debut, demonstrated potential with a fourth-place finish at Chelmsford recently and is worth watching. Red Troop, stepping up in distance, should also be considered a contender, starting from what appears to be a reasonable handicap mark.

LAWMANS BLISS - 3/1
LAWMANS BLISS, who clinched a victory over course and distance (C&D) last month, found his stride a tad too late when competing at a reduced distance at Newcastle last week. Despite this, based on his previous performances, he is still considered to be competitively handicapped, making him a contender of interest. Sullivan Bay, showing less exposure than his competitors, deserves attention on his debut for trainer Henrietta Knight. Captain Square is another participant worth considering in the lineup.

FOLLOW YOUR HEART - 12/1
Given the expected front-running tactics of Intervention, Revolutionise, and Documenting, the race dynamics may favor FOLLOW YOUR HEART. Despite a lackluster performance in a competitive class 2 event last month, where he was outperformed by Trip To Rome who finished third, Mark Loughnane's entrant could find this lower class and familiar venue (with four wins at this track) to his advantage, positioning him as a significant contender. Thapa VC, having shown promising form by moving into contention with ease at Kempton two weeks ago, remains a threat with his rating unchanged. Book Of Life, making his UK debut with a potential to excel beyond his current rating of 88, warrants attention in the betting markets.
